He left in July of 2001 to join David Wexler and Keith Eig to begin Greenberg, Wexler & Eig.

From 1990 to 1994, Scott served on the Board of Directors for the Washington DC Life Underwriters (now DC AFIA) chapter. Scott has also served on several Association of Advanced Life Underwriters (AALU) committees including Speaker Relations (chaired 1999) and Continuing Education (chaired 2000) as well as a two year term on The Greater Washington Foundation of Insurance and Financial Advisors (GWFIFA) Board.

Scott received his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation from the American College in 1995, and went on to earn the Family Business Specialist certification in 1997. In 1997, Scott founded the Family Business Forum of Washington, DC at American University and served as its chairman in 1998.

Because of Scott's vision and leadership, the Heart's Delight Wine Tasting and Auction has become one of the most successful charity wine events on the east coast. Now in its thirteenth year, Heart's Delight has raised over $9,000,000 to fight heart disease and stroke.
